When Wen Liu was eating with relish, Liu Sufang put down the dishes and chopsticks and said to Wen Liu: "Liu Liu, mom told you one thing, you have to control your emotions," Wen Liu suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and then looked at his father Wen Jianjun's serious face, hesitated, and nodded.

Liu Sufang continued: "Liu Liu, your grandfather was diagnosed with advanced lymphoma a month ago, the doctor said that there may be few days left, and he was discharged from the hospital a few days ago, you went to see him after breakfast, and grandpa has been looking forward to you going to see him!" Liu Sufang choked up as she spoke. Wen Liu choked when he heard this, and tears burst out of his eyes, "Mom! It's such an important and urgent matter, why are you only telling me now? Wen Jianjun hurriedly said: "Your mother doesn't want you to worry, your mother is also very sad, that's her father!" Wen Liu hurriedly patted Liu Sufang on the shoulder: "Mom, I'm sorry!" I'm going to see my grandfather right away! ”

After Wen Liu finished speaking, he stepped on his slippers and rushed out of the door. Shed tears while running all the way!

Wen Liu's grandparents died very early, and for a long time when he was a child, because his parents went out to work, Wen Liu was taken care of by his grandparents, and he had a very good relationship with his grandparents. Wenliu's grandparents' house is less than 10 minutes away from Wenliu's house, but the country road is more difficult to walk.

When Wen Liu felt anxiously at his grandfather's house, it was not his grandfather and grandmother who caught his eyes, but the two uncles he hadn't seen for a long time.

Wen Liu shouted "Uncle", and immediately rushed to her grandfather's house, her aunt was sitting next to the old man to feed water, she clearly saw that the old man had been so thin that his cheekbones were protruding, his eyes were deep, the old man couldn't eat anything, he couldn't even drink water, he was fed spoonful by spoonful, and it still flowed out of his mouth...... Obviously, the old man didn't realize that someone else had come in, so Wen Liu immediately knelt in front of his grandfather's bed, held the old man's hand, and shouted loudly with a crying voice: "Grandpa, grandpa!" I'm Liu Liu, Liu Liu has come to see you, Liu Liu has come to see you......", the old man reacted, wanted to open his eyes, but only opened a slit, and made a strong "um" on his mouth, and he didn't have any strength in his hands, but he could feel that the old man's entire palm was hot. Wen Liu knew that her grandfather was already confused, and people couldn't see clearly, but he clearly saw that his eyelashes were slightly moist, and Wen Liu's tears welled up, she didn't want her grandfather to know that she was crying, and walked out with heavy steps......

The moment the door was closed, Wen Liu couldn't hold back any longer, with a "wow" sound, he squatted down, his face was on his knees, his shoulders kept twitching, Liu Sufang, who came from the back foot, saw this scene, also wet his eyes, patted Wen Liu's shoulder and said: "Mom couldn't accept it at first, but it's just this month's thing, no one can imagine that it will develop so fast, Liu Liu, look at your grandfather more, look at it less, maybe there will be no such person as your grandfather in the future......!"

Wen Liu really couldn't stand it, hugged Liu Sufang and cried for a while, and after calming down, he said to Liu Sufang: "Mom, why do you want to discharge your grandfather from the hospital in advance, isn't it better to be in the hospital, I checked, lymphoma patients will be very painful in the late stage, why can't you relieve my grandfather of these pains?" Liu Sufang was silent for a while, wiped her tears, and replied: "Your grandfather asked for it, he was afraid that his soul would not be able to enter the house after his death." Wen Liu couldn't accept this statement, and said: "I want to keep a vigil for my grandfather at night...... Liu Sufang nodded hesitantly.

At night, Wen Liu moved a stool and sat in front of his grandfather's bed, the old man always took his hand back and made a motion of lifting the quilt, Wen Liu took the trouble to cover him, and kept staring at the position of the old man's heart, because the old man was already skinny, the outline of the ribs was clearly visible, and it could be seen that the heart was beating weakly, Wen Liu did not dare to blink.

Two hours later, Liu Sufang and Wen Liu's aunt entered the house, and Liu Sufang persuaded her; "Liu Liu, you go to sleep first, and your aunt and I will guard him? If there is anything to call you, your uncles will come to change us in the middle of the night. Wen Liu was tired of crying, paused, nodded, went to sleep, went to see her grandmother before going to bed, comforted her for a while, and fell asleep next to her grandmother, this sleep until 9 o'clock in the morning the next day, was awakened by Liu Sufang's hurried voice, she knew, grandpa is not good, and when she rushed to her grandfather's house, she saw her grandfather's still beating chest, and finally put her mind at ease.

In the evening, Liu Sufang came to ask Wen Liu to eat, Wen Liu held her grandfather's hand and said, "Grandpa, I'll go to eat first, you can rest," she heard the old man's "um", so she went to eat with confidence. Knowing that there was no one next to his grandfather, Wen Liu ate quickly, and rushed to his grandfather's house before wiping his mouth...... When he saw everything in the room, Wen Liu was stunned, slammed his knees on the ground, and shouted "Grandpa" almost collapsed. Because she saw the old man's chest, which had been beating, and she didn't move, she knew what it meant...... Liu Sufang and others outside the door came to hear the sound...... Suddenly, there was a cry in the room......

Grandpa Wenliu's funeral was held in accordance with the traditional customs of the Sichuan River countryside, and burials are also popular in the local area. At this time, Wen Liu was wearing linen and filial piety, following the other elders, kneeling in front of her grandfather's spirit, listening to the people who did things, reciting a bunch of scriptures that she didn't understand, and the other grandchildren arrived the night before Wen Liu's grandfather's burial...... Wen Liu only paid attention to the oil lamp next to Shoucai and the incense candle on the table, the person who did the work explained that these three things could not be extinguished or broken, the oil lamp should be constantly refueled, and the incense candle needed to be continued continuously......

At 9 o'clock in the evening, the villagers who came to help or offer incense had almost dispersed, and only the village chief was still coordinating the people who would wake up and bury tomorrow.

With the development of the times, most young people go out to work, or have settled in the city, like Wen Liu, who basically only returns to his hometown once a year.

Therefore, now there are fewer and fewer young and middle-aged laborers in the countryside, but the matter of lifting longevity is to have a person who grows stronger, otherwise if there is a little mistake in the middle, it will be regarded as unlucky, and now there is a lack of such a person, just when the village chief had a headache, an uncle next to him reminded: "Didn't our village send a technician to teach everyone to plant fruit trees a month ago?" A 30-year-old young man named Han Jin, I think he should be able to do it, but you have to go and talk to him, ask him for a favor, and then the host will seal a red envelope."

The village chief also felt that it was feasible when he heard it, although this matter was indeed presumptuous, but this was a favor, thinking that Technician Han, an enthusiastic young man, should not refuse, so he immediately went to the residence arranged for Han Jin in the village.
